This video on evolution discusses the different lines of evidence that support the theory of evolution. The discussion is around: comparative anatomy, embryology, the fossil record, DNA comparisons, Species Distribution, and some observations.
This educational video explains the five main parts of evolution in simple, easy-to-understand terms. The video covers population effects, non-random mating, mutations, gene flow, and adaptations. Each concept is explained clearly, with examples to help students understand how these factors contribute to the process of evolution. By the end of the video, students will have a basic understanding of how these five parts work together to shape the evolution of species over time. Whether you're a student or just interested in learning more about evolution, this video is a great resource.
This video does a good job explaining what is meant by natural selection in the evolutionary process and why scientists believe in the Theory of Evolution. Descent with Modification, Common Descent, Galapagos Island Turtles, Charles Darwin, Selective Breeding, are all concepts discussed in the video.
This "Its OK to be Smart" video discusses why our bodies feel cold. Students will learn that it is all about heat transfer. The video will discuss convection, radiation, conduction, temperature, thermometers, matter, atoms, The Second Law of Thermodynamics, and why we would freeze in space.
This "It's OK to be Smart" video discusses the human nose and its awesome ability to sense smells. Please note that this video does talk about human sperm so you need to judge your students' maturity level. Nerves, olfactory receptors, eyes, and ears are also discussed in the video.
This video discusses the science and culture of being left-handed. This would be a great video to show a class with a good percentage of lefties.
This video does a great job discussing and showing the processes of coastal beach and rock formations. The video also discusses a little bit about ocean wave formation.
This video visually discusses what ecosystems and biomes are. The video is 16 minutes long. It talks about the 7 major biomes on Earth, arctic, coniferous forest, deciduous forest, desert, grasslands, aquatic, and the rainforests. Permafrost and savanna are also discussed. At the very end of the video, the narrator demonstrates how to make a terrarium.
This is a visually appealing and dramatic video that introduces your students to the study of biomes. This is a great video to show as you get started on a new unit of ecology.
In this video, the definition of an ecosystem is visually demonstrated and discussed as well as the different biomes. This is a good introduction to your unit on ecosystems and biomes.
